Think Progress has the transcript of NBC White House correspondent's interview with George Bush "at the border" this morning on the Today Show. Excellent stuff.

GREGORY: Let me ask you about your leadership. In the most recent survey, your disapproval rating is now one point lower than Richard Nixon’s before he resigned the presidency. You are laughing.BUSH: I’m not laughing –GREGORY: Why? Why do you think that is?BUSH: Because we are at war, and war unsettles people. Listen, we got a great economy. We’ve added 5.2 million jobs in the last two and a half years. People are unsettled.GREGORY: But they’re not just unsettled sir. They disapprove of the job you’re doing.BUSH: That’s unsettled.
